What to Do After a Slip and Fall at CVS

First and foremost, if you are injured have someone call for medical attention if necessary or find help to drive you home. If you are able at the scene, use the phone on your camera to take pictures of the ground any visible injury you sustained.

It is important to take these photos as soon as possible to capture the conditions at CVS at the time you fell and before snow or ice melts. If there were obstructions in the path or on the sidewalk that caused you to reroute which led to your fall, please take photos of those obstacles as well.

Defective or damaged piping may be evidence of how deposited water unnaturally accumulates onto a sidewalk or common pedestrian area, eventually causing a slip and fall. Such evidence or other obstructions should also be photographed at the time of the incident to use in your case. Illinois makes a distinction between unnatural and natural accumulation of snow and ice so it is important to retain these details in order to determine liability and a successful outcome.
